I am now providing childcare 5 days a week.
This enables me to provide you and your child with a full week of 30 hours childcare (6 hours per day), without having to share care across multiple settings, to meet your childcare needs.
If you require additional hours these may be available by request.
I ask for a minimum of 2 full day (6 hour sessions) per week, as this benefits the child best in helping them settle in to the setting, develop a understanding of the routine and build strong relationships with myself and the other children at my setting.
I run a small setting with up to only 6 children a session, with mixed age groups from 9 months to 4/5 years which creates a beautiful family dynamic. Spaces are therefore limited, so I do recommend getting on the waiting list as early as possible.

Fees & Funding
I charge £60 for the full day rate 9am to 3pm.
Any additional hours are charged at £10 per hour.
I accept funding for 9 months, 2 years and the 3-4 age groups.
Please be aware that this covers the childcare element only, therefore there is a sustainability fee which covers other aspects of the provision I provide that is not covered by the government funding.
All details are covered in my Funding and Fee Policy.
Please consider that with a registered childminder you can also claim up to 85% of your childcare costs through universal credits.
I also accept childcare vouchers and Tax Free Childcare payments.
I am happy to discuss these options with you.
